LIST OF WINDOW ASSIGNMENTS

CHECK-IN

• One parent/chaperone must be present at check in and during the entire painting process.

• During check-in you or your team will receive original artwork, T-shirts to wear & ONE supply bag containing: 9 paint colors, paintbrushes & a disposable drop cloth.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT YOUR ASSIGNED WINDOW

• Look for the green tag in the corner of the window with your name(s).
• STOP – Look at your assigned window for cracks or defect. Contact one of the committee members ASAP if your window is damaged.
• REQUIRED: BRING PAINTERS TAPE – DROP CLOTH must be used to cover the bottom of the window & sidewalk. Please use painting tape to attach it.
• Your window has been marked off with blue tape – BE VERY CAREFUL – DO NOT PAINT ON or OUTSIDE OF THE TAPE!!! Merchants have been very generous to allow the use of their windows. If we damage or make a mess, we risk losing their trust and the ability to paint their window in the future.
• Only use the Paint Provided! NO GLITTER or SPLAT PAINTING ALLOWED! YOUR PAINTING WILL BE REMOVED.

These are simple rules to follow and are in place for a reason. We hate to remove a student’s artwork. Please don’t make us do that.

• Paint will crack if put on too thick. If paint is thick – add water.
• If you spill paint on the sidewalk or stain the windowsill, please clean it up immediately!
• Please do not enter the merchant store for water or to clean brushes.
• Stay clear of business entrances if possible. Please move for customers that are entering or exiting. We want to make sure businesses can function as usual.
• IMPORTANT – Clean your area when finished. Remove the blue tape and the green tag from the window. Move any flower containers/furniture back if you have moved them. Clean up any paint spills. Dispose of your trash in provided trash cans.
• Please bring back any unopen or slightly used paint. We can utilize unopen paint next year and donate slightly used bottles local charities.
